The Ancient Flashfin is a large, fish-like creature that resides in Mudwater Hollow, serving as its protector. He is one of the four Ancient Elementals in the Cloudbreak Islands.
Personality
During his brief time on-screen, the Flashfin demonstrates that he doesn't tolerate those who attempt to harm innocent creatures. He will lash out at evil-doers to protect those who can't defend themselves.
Story
The Ancient Flashfin became a target for Kaos, who planned on evilizing the great fish to disrupt the ritual at Mount Cloudbreak needed to replenish the magic in Skylands.
At Mudwater Hollow, the Flashfin saved Tessa, Flynn, and Whiskers from two Greeble Airships by unleashing eye lasers upon the enemies. However, multiple evilizers threatened to turn the Flashfin into an evil version of himself. Luckily, the Skylanders saved the Flashfin, allowing him to return to Woodburrow safely.

Trivia
- The Flashfin is the only known Elemental capable of defending himself (via eye lasers).
- He is also the only elemental that isn't guarded by a boss (the Terrasquid was guarded by the Fire Viper, the Frosthound was guarded by Mesmeralda and the Tree Spirit was guarded by Kaos).
- He and the Ancient Tree Spirit are the only two Elementals who do not re-appear in Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing.
- In the Skylanders Academy episode "Thankstaking for the Memories," a portrait of the Flashfin can be seen in the Relics Room.
- Stone sculptures of the Flashfin's head can be seen in Water Elemental Gates throughout Swap Force.
- A number of small Flashfin babies appear in Mudwater Hollow. Concept art depicts a fully evilized version of one of these babies, suggesting that they may originally have been planned to be evilized at some point in development.[1]
- Alternate concepts of the Flashfin include two-legged versions, along with a tadpole-shaped concept covered in octopus-like rings.[2]
